So Disappointing,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Little Book of Judas (Paperback)
The title of this book "The Little Book of Judas" fooled me-I was expecting some real enlightening poems about Judas Iscariot/betrayal instead the poems are angry and some contain profanties. Take for instance the poem: "A Lamblasting" (page 79; 4th stanza):'Finally' he rasped as he downed more wine, 'You're the prison bully and you're hangman-smelly. And that, Judas, is [BEEP] that!' Profanities take the classiness out of a good poem. I think this book of poems by Brendan Kennelly is a little too hard on the palate and consequently does not satisfy the soul. Since purchasing this book, I have chewed and swallowed it but my system is having a some difficulty digesting it. One star for the effort and another for the beautiful cover showing "details from Giotto's Betrayal of Christ (1303-1305), with Christ holding The Book of Judas, from a 12th century Byzantine mosaic". |
